SUMMARY:Sharjah International Film Festival for Children and Youth (SIFF)
DESCRIPTION:SIFF is back for its tenth edition on 22 to 28 October with an official selection of 81 films from 37 countries (slightly down on last year\, which saw 90+ from 47 countries). But “the new edition promises to exceed audience expectations” said Sheikha Jawaher Bint Abdullah Al Qasimi\, SIFF’s director\, in her press statement; certainly there will be three world premieres and no fewer than 53 Middle East premieres. \nThere are screenings in seven categories\, all competitive – Student Films\, GCC Short Films\, International Shorts\, Animations\, Animated Features\, and Feature Films. There’s also a Green Carpet platform which will offer audiences the chance to see films (four of them) with a director’s Q&A; there are also eight talks and ‘open discussions’. \nWe can’t currently tell you much more than that; the website does list what films are being shown and when\, but otherwise it’s largely bereft of useful information and clearly has some very outdated pages (including the director’s message\, which still refers to the online-only Festival of 2021). Apparently ticket prices are the normal charges for Vox films and you can book them online via the Vox website as usual; the main location is Vox City Centre Al Zahia but we understand Mirdif City Centre and City Centre Ajman will have the screenings as well. \nAbove: still from Titina\, dir Kajsa Naess (Norway/Belgium\, 2022)

SUMMARY:Mathilde Magnier: What We Leave Behind
DESCRIPTION:This series of images of the UAE\, started when Mathilde Magnier Rabate moved to the Emirates in 2014\, attempts to document the impact of the country’s rapid transformation on the Emirati traditional landscape and ecosystems. In a part of the world where nature long remained untouched\, the photographer’s aim is to question how such changes may transform the local environment as well as the relationship between people and their natural habitat. \nMathilde Magnier Rabate was featured at this year’s RAK Fine Arts Festival. We were also impressed with a thoughtful and sharply-realised essay on change shown at Alliance Française Dubai a year ago. This one should be as good. \nTo 13 November.

SUMMARY:Jamal Tayara-Baroudy: Ways of Seeing
DESCRIPTION:A solo exhibition by the UAE-based Lebanese artist\, an alumna of Tashkeel’s Critical Practice Programme 2022. \nThe subject of Jamal’s research over the last 18 months has been the giant milkweed\, a species of flowering plant native to MENASA that is often seen as invasive and toxic but has applications in agriculture\, petroleum\, roofing\, traditional medicine\, and cosmetics. The artist has used various parts of it in producing this new body of work\, including pods\, fibres\, seeds\, stalks\, and leaves. \nThe exhibition raises awareness about the importance of plants as a natural\, sustainable resource. It serves as a call to revisit the collective wisdom of cultures and reconnect with the values and properties of flora\, once revered yet today regarded with contempt. \nTo 8 December. \n\n
